Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:27:44 Curious about the intersection of polyamory and FOSS people on here! 62% monogamous, into FOSS 1063 Stimmabgaben, geschlossen |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:29:05 Same thing sorta but this one looking at poly + queer 58% Queer, into FOSS 612 Stimmabgaben, geschlossen |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:31:02 @cwebber I feel like I'm messing up your poll by answering while monogamous and not queer |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:43:54 @ebooksyearn @cwebber There are dozens of us! DOZENS! But this does feel like selection bias is going to be a problem. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:55:19 @dpflug @ebooksyearn I mean it's meant to have selection bias, I'm curious to know what the kind of people who follow me on fedi are like :) |

Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:39:55 The instance I am on only supports 4 options, so here are two more polls 29% Ace spec, into FOSS 382 Stimmabgaben, geschlossen |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:41:21 Last poll, ace spec + queer questions 27% Ace spec, queer 340 Stimmabgaben, geschlossen |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:50:17 And FINALLY, one more poll about queer + polyamorous 38% Queer, polyamorous 418 Stimmabgaben, geschlossen |

Föderation EN Mi 16.07.2025 17:05:43 All correct here except for -gamy, which comes from Greek gamos (γαμος) meaning marriage. You were probably thinking of -gyny, as in polygyny, contrasted with polyandry, which comes from Greek gyne (γυνη) meaning woman. (This might be super nerdy but I love Greek and couldn't help myself |

Föderation · Mi 16.07.2025 18:15:35 It's understandable considering humans are sexist pigs, so almost all polygamy is polygyny. |
|
Föderation EN Mi 16.07.2025 20:27:14 @cy @log @boo_ @Mattaob That's an old sexist assumption. As of 2012, more poly people appeared to be women than men (and several other studies I have seen since) https://www.advocate.com/current-issue/2016/1/08/polyamory-numbers |
|
Föderation · Mi 16.07.2025 21:27:47 That's polyamory, not polygamy. |

Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:42:50 @cwebber what about the furry/sysadmin axes? |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:45:11 @johnefrancis I have made enough polls!!! make your own poll! ;) |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 16:00:51 @cwebber Always hard to choose whether I'm "queer" or not when I'm ace spectrum with a heteroromantic lean. >.> But regardless, into FOSS! |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:42:06 @cwebber it's me, my sex drive was swapped with a drive to program at birth. Good thing I discovered programming at 10, has worked out relatively well. 😅 |

Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 18:40:26 @cwebber I don't understand the questions |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:30:59 @cwebber could you give a threshold for "into FOSS"? |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:43:44 @virtulis you set the threshold for yourself! |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:34:40 @cwebber What does "into FOSS" mean? (As in: using it, writing it, thinking it's good?) |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:35:10 @cwebber no ace spectrum options? |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:37:42 @thamesynne alas, the instance I am on only supports 4 options :( |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:42:30 |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:43:44 @cwebber thanks! answered |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:35:50 @cwebber since there is no "getting your freak on at sexy parties and into FOSS" option I will abstain from filling in the first one. My sincere apologies for skewing the results of your very scientific poll |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:37:10 Hmm... At the risk of sounding nitpicky I'm not sure there's a binary of monogamous/polyamorous. Saying this because as someone who's aromantic I don't know if monogamous is really applicable to me, and poly definitely isn't 😅 |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:37:20 @cwebber Undefined. My relationships have been sparse and short enough that the question of monogamy hasn't arisen, and I'm smart enough not to trust my opinions on questions I've never really had to deal with. So I dunno. But I'm into FOSS. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:57:18 @cwebber I voted "not into FOSS" thinking that I don't typically engage in discussion about it or seek out info about it. But I am "into it" in the sense that I like and approve of FOSS. So I'm not sure if I voted correctly or not. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 15:57:46 @nickdrawthing It's entirely self-subjective, so whatever you think, that's the right one! |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 16:07:55 @cwebber i am slightly annoyed that poly and mono are the only option as if there is nothing else :') |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 17:17:26 @cwebber counting myself as "into FOSS" even though I'm not a programmer because I now have two computers running Linux |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 17:21:20 @WizardOfDocs legit! |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 17:28:10 @cwebber though if anybody needs documentation for their FOSS project and lacks the spoons/skill/motivation/etc, I'm between jobs and looking for Things to Do |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 17:18:10 @cwebber Are you gonna ask about our socks next? :) |
|
Föderation · Di 15.07.2025 19:36:13 @Christine Lemmer-Webber Interesting stuff. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:12:45 @cwebber I mean if you really think about it, ActivityPub is kinda like open source software-polyamory |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:37:45 @cwebber monogamous and polyamorous are not an exhaustive set. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:38:21 @evan there are more polls below! partly because this instance only supports 4 options in polls |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 21:06:38 |

Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 22:08:54 |

Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 23:40:07 @evan @cwebber Only four poll options, though. I understood the binary divisions to be modal versus non-modal (modal over the domain of the entire population, not just Fedifolk), so even if the relationship is not technically correct to be described as polyamory, one should still pick that second option for anything considered by society to be remarkable or unusual. For this nonscientific poll designed to satisfy casual curiosity on Fedifolk demography. The results prove we skew weird. |
|
Föderation EN Di 15.07.2025 20:41:42 @cwebber I'm share-alike lol |
|
Föderation EN Mi 16.07.2025 06:12:19 @cwebber The really cool thing about these results is that on either side, the result is still overwhelmingly pro-FOSS. 😁 |
